Renamed the BOARS HEAD c1843.
( A boars head appears in the Norgate family arms ).
Stood on the corner of Surrey Street and St. Stephens Street.
In 1890 Johnson Hemnell is given at the
BOARS HEAD STORES,
5 St. Stephens Street.A 15th C thatched building seriously damaged
by enemy action 27/29.04.1942. The ancient building was later demolished rather than be
restored. Rebuilding was further back from the original site which conveniently allowed
the road to be widened. ( A proposal which had been made in the 1930's but the historic
building presented a problem ).
New house reopened 11.12.1952 according to Licence Register, but a further entry gives the
date as 10.12.1953, ( the earlier date perhaps being when licence transferred to the
building under construction ? ).
The Mutton Chop Banjo Band were a popular attraction on a Saturday night in the 1970's |
